Albumin is the single most abundant protein in the human serum. Its roles in physiology and
pathology are diverse. Serum albumin levels have been classically thought to reflect the …

Purpose Our meta-analysis aims to investigate the prognostic role of pretreatment albumin
to globulin ratio (AGR) in human cancers. Methods Available databases were searched up …

Since its discovery in 1780, lactate has long been misunderstood as a waste by-product of
anaerobic glycolysis with multiple deleterious effects. Owing to the lactate shuttle concept …

Background Chronic inflammation is known to be one of the main steps in carcinogenesis.
Identification of those with chronic inflammation may help identify subjects at risk of cancer …

Background: Albumin and globulin are main components of serum protein. The level of
albumin and globulin partially represents the nutrition status and immune system. Albumin …

Background Low serum albumin is predictive of poor survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC). We evaluated the ability of the pretreatment albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) to predict …

Background Circulating markers of the systemic inflammatory response are prognostic in
several cancers, but their role in operable breast cancer is unclear. A systematic review and …

Background: Malnutrition and inflammation are highly prevalent and tightly regulated with
each other in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Inflammation can lead to malnutrition …

OBJECTIVE Surgery for metastatic spinal tumors can have a substantial impact on patients'
quality of life by alleviating pain, improving function, and correcting spinal instability when …

Purpose Elevated serum concentration of fibrinogen and decreased serum concentration of
albumin have been reported to be markers of elevated systemic inflammation. We attempted …
